The photo depicts two women dressed in popular port specific to the area (shirt with foothills, paired catholes, cotton cloth or borangic on the head). One of him keeps a child in his arms. The house with a gazebo in front of which is located has a high ground floor, made of stone, a porch enclosed with a twisted plank railing, a roof with a shingle covering. Imginea was captured by Iosif Berman (1892-1941), journalist and official photographer of the Royal Court, who accompanied Professor Gusti’s teams in almost all the village monography campaigns. One of his great qualities was the capture of the snapshots of the village life. On the initiative and under the direction of Professor Dimitrie Gusti from 29 June to 18 August 1930, a team of 60 monographers methodically and analytically researched all areas of his life - cosmological, biological, psychological, historical, economic, spiritual, political-administrative, at Runcu, Gorj, village (documentary attestation in 1486) situated at the foothills of the Vâcan Mountains in Sohodolului Gorge. Following this thorough investigation we defined the Romanian concepts about the theory and technique of sociological monography that in the coming years began to be known and applied also by researchers from other countries in Europe. Photography, cacherata on a cardboard sheet, with the humorous information: region, locality, title (in Romanian, French, German), date, photographer.
